I would say very little is going to go into there's sort of maintenance levels of protein synthesis. Anything that I stimulated by exercise, still very little. I'm perfectly fine with the idea that much of that protein intake is used as energy. In fact, I'm delighted with it because the conversion of that protein to energy is metabolically costly in a way that conversion of other caloric forms is less costly and the I'm also happy with it because it tastes good.
